6-(10-Hydroxydecyl)-2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (idebenone) has been found to have a membrane-stabilizing activity in studies using lysosomes. Using dimyristoyl L-alpha-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) as a substrate, the effects of idebenone and related benzoquinones on phospholipid digestion by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) was investigated. Free myristic acid, released from DMPC upon PLA2 treatment, was anthrylmethylated with 9-anthryldiazomethane (ADAM) and determined by reversed-phase HPLC. Idebenone and a related benzoquinone, 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-(10-morpholinodecyl)-1, 4-benzquinone hydrochloride (QS-10.Mor), inhibited the hydrolysis of the substrate with PLA2 in a dose-dependent manner. It is suggested that the effect of idebenone on PLA2, in addition to its antioxidant activity lipid peroxidation, can be attributed to membrane-stabilizing activity.
在使用溶酶体的研究中发现,6-(10-羟基癸基)-2,3-二甲氧基-5-甲基-1,4-苯醌(艾地苯醌)具有膜稳定活性。以二肉豆蔻酰基-L-α-磷脂酰胆碱(DMPC)为底物,研究了艾地苯醌及相关苯醌对磷脂酶A2(PLA2)消化磷脂的影响。经PLA2处理后从DMPC释放的游离肉豆蔻酸,用9-蒽重氮甲烷(ADAM)进行蒽甲基化,并通过反相高效液相色谱法测定。艾地苯醌和一种相关苯醌,2,3-二甲氧基-5-甲基-6-(10-吗啉代癸基)-1,4-苯醌盐酸盐(QS-10.Mor),以剂量依赖方式抑制PLA2对底物的水解。提示艾地苯醌除其抗氧化活性(脂质过氧化)外,对PLA2的作用可归因于膜稳定活性。
